A marriage of the visual and musical arts.
Painter Marc Chagall lived in New York for seven years before he returned to Europe in 1948. During these New York years, he was commissioned to design the scenery and costumes for a new ballet based on a poem by Alexander Pushkin and set to Tchaikovsky’s Trio in A Minor.
Chagall always loved Mozart’s Magic Flute, and this whimsical painting pays tribute to the great opera and its characters. He wasn’t the first to do so: Beethoven set his own variations on Mozart’s theme.
Native Bostonian David Fulmer composed “Eldorado” in 2022 for the Horszowski Trio, taking inspiration from the music of Robert Schumann, creating his own colorful and complex emotional landscape. When painter, Peggy Gyulai heard the Trio’s performance of “Eldorado,” she was inspired to create a striking artwork which captures the poignant artistic statement of the composer through her own dramatic and creative eye, which we are proud to display during this Boston Premiere.
